After crossing the finish line last oesu vice-champion spoke surprisingly quiet at times, his voice breaking. The first words he thanked mechanics. They painstakingly rebuilding the car that almost completely crashed on Thursday’s shakedown. His start for a long time became a question mark. Three days later, Neuville scored his first victory in the WRC. – I think by this time have done an incredible job. Thank them enough. I can not believe that after Thursday’s rollover achieved such a result. We have been putting pressure on the other and it paid off – said the Belgian driver.
This victory would not have happened if not specificity particularly dramatic Rally Germany. Leaders may drop from the route one after the other. It started from Friday tours in vineyards Sebastien Ogier, who a day later he returned with a large waste of time and again dropped out of the tour. This time effectively. Ride ended, hitting the steel barrier at a speed of 184 km / h. Crew, nothing happened, but the car was not fit for fast repair.
over from team-mate took over Jari-Matti Latvala, who last day of the rally started with a very comfortable, almost minute running. The rate was very high. Finn could revive their chances at the title, reducing the loss of point to Stallion from 44 to 16 points. Did not take advantage of the opportunity. On the first morning stretch as he drove in the vineyards and was not able to get back on the road. It seemed that the thirteenth consecutive victory in Germany Will take Citroen, this time led by Kris Meeke. Briton ended the ride at the next episode, bumping into the ledge. He tried to increase the advantage over the chasing him Neuville …
Volkswagen again did not win the rally at home circumstances almost identical to those a year ago. This time consolation they had on the podium though one player. Andreas Mikkelsen was third. Parent team has not won a constructors’ championship, which could be their only after the rally.
In fact, however, champions have nothing to fear. In the next rally, in Australia, things should be back to normal. With such a huge advantage just unimaginable catastrophe can deprive them of their titles. And now, at least for a while fans can be happy that he won for a change rally driver in the car other than Volkswagen. This is the most important aspect of Thierry Neuville victory and Hyundai Motorsport team.
